ITS FORrIETH ANNIVERSARY.

The Benevolent Society Gives an Enjoyable
Picnic on the Fair Grounds, Yesterday.
The German Benevolent Society, better
kLown as the Umbrella Society,"" gave
picnic on the State Fair Grounds yester-
day. 1t is something very strange if this
organization should give picnic and not
have rain. 1t looked very much like this
was to be the case yesterday until about 6
o'clock when shower came up, but was
not heavy enough to interfere with the en-
ioyment of the large crowd present.
After the Society marched to the grounds
in the morning, great numbers OF their
friends began following them over until
thel grounds were we'll filled. The Opera
House brass band and orchestra was on
hand and rendered concert programme
and dance music alternately. The day WAS
most delightfully."- passed by all present in
promenading and dancing and enjoying
pleasant chats under the cool shade of the
trees.
Shortly after the arrival of the society
at the grounds pleasant thing occurred,
Mr.. John Vogler the veteran president of
the society, who has held the position
continually and with honor for the past
thirty-eight years was called aside when
Mr.. Casper He'll, vice-president of the So
ciety in neat speech presented him with
q handsome gold headed walking stick
and pair of gold trimmed spectacles, on
behalf of the members and friends of the
society. Mr.. Vogler was surprised and
greatly overcome by the unexpectedneSs
of the affair, but managed to express his
thanks in few well chosen words. The
cane is very fine one and the beautifully
engraved head contains the inscription:
Presented to John VOgler by his friends,
May 80, 1881" The gentleman naturally
feels very proud of such material express
sion of esteem.
The picnic in addition to being the an
nual May festival was also the fourtieth
anniversary the existence OF the society,
and it was an occasion successful in every
particular.

At Martins Ferry.

The day was observed at Martins Ferry
with the usual ceremonies, under the aus
pices of the G. A. r., ThOburn Post No.
IL, and the Ladies' Relief Corps. The
old veterans formed Mt G. A. r. Hall, cor
ner Fifth and Hanover streets, at 9 a. H.,
and marched to Second street, where they
were joined by the cOlOred Odd Fellows
and several Sunday schools. The entire
line then returned to &. A. X. Hall, where
they were Joined by the Ladies' Relief
Corps and marched to Col. G. W. Mitch
ellis grove, near Walnut Grove cemetery,
where the preparatory exercises were held.
The exercises were opened with music by
the choir. consisting of J. C. Gray, leader,
George Hipkins, J. 7. Thomas, Misses Ida
Hoyle, Blanche Medill, May Griffith and
Lille Tannehill, aceompanist.
Rev, A. B. Morrison then addressed the
assemblage in fifteen minutes speech, in
which he eulogized the soldiers, both dead
and living, and portrayed the great strug-
giles and privations passed through by the
country's sayiors. Mrs. J. NJ. Paul and
Hon. John s. Cochran addressed the as
semblage on behalf of the Ladies' Relief
Corps. Mrs. Paul's address was very in
teresting, and called forth considerable ap-
plause. Judge COchran's address WAS
mastery effort and was very heartily re-
ceived. The officers of the G. A. r. per-
formed the G. A. r. memorial cere-
mOny, after which the audience
formed in line and marched to

THE DAY IN GENERAL.
Large Crowds Out mt the Park, and on tn

Large Crowds Out at the Park, and on the
Island.
The rush of people to get out of town,
especially during the afternoon, was very
great. The Elm Grove moter line carried
an immense number of passengers, the at
tendance at the Park being one of the
largest of the season. A great many people
also went ont to the various cemeteries, or
to resorts along the pike. A large number
went over to the Island, taking in the pic
mic at the Fair Grounds, or visiting the
Bass Ball Park. There was very hand
some display of bunting in various parts OF
city, good many flags being thrown to
the breezes. All the public offices ut the
City Hall, except police headquarters, were
closed up tight, and the same thing was
true of the Custom House, while at the
postoflice Sunday hours were observed.
The interest in the base ball game ut
GAINESVILLE was most intense, and the eX-
citement about Wickham's Exchange, both
in the morning and afternoon, was great
The news of the situation at the end of the
discOuraging, and there was general feel
ing that Wheeling had no chance. The
change made by Dunn's pitching caused
great rejoicing, and he and CrOghan was
complimented on all sides. A good deal OF
money was put up on the result of the al
ternoOn game, but the rain storm put n
dampener OH the hopes of the boys.
Many of the ChautauquanS enjoyed the
day in II picnic at Ridgeway's Grove,
about five miles ACKNOWLEDGEMENT, on the
c., l.. & w. railroad. The Bridgeport
Chautauqua Circle invited the Martins
Ferry, the Mount Pleasant, the st. Glars
Vile, the Coalrain, the Wheeling Island,
and some other. Circles TO participate in q
union picnic, all of which responded to a
greater or less extent, making company
of more than 100. The grove was reached
about eleven o'clock, and two hours were
spent by the different circles Ill getting
acquainted with one another. At about
| O'Clock themembers were called together.
After prayer by Rev. Mr.. Walker, of Mar
tins Ferry, very appropriate and enter
tanning address of welcome was delivered
by Major j. NJ. Lee, as President of the
Bridgeport Circle. After regular good
Old-fashiOned bOunteous picnic dinner was
partaken of, Miss Cora Sloan, OF the Mar
tins Ferry Circle, read cOmmemoratiOn
ode, Miss Jennie II. Moore, of the Mt.
Pleasant Circle, q paper on the Poet Whit
tier, and Mrs. NJ. l.. Etzler, of the Wheel
ing Island Circle, y paper on "A Visit to
the CarbOniferOns Age" These were all
highly appreciated. Prof A. b. Thomas
of the Island Circle, responded to the
toast THE PedNgogue," and Miss Mary
Clayland, of Bridgeport, to the toast, "Our
nose (knOws); its length, breadth, and
thickness" and their remarks were much
enjoyed At the roll call OF the various
circles the members responded with
poetic quotations appropriate to memorial
day.
The rest of the day till train time at six
o'clock was spent in having general good
time. So much enjoyment was gotten out
of the day that it was unanimously de-
cided to hold another such picnic next
year.

NATIONAL HOLIDAY.
DECORATION DAY VERY GENERALLY OBJ
SERVED HERE
The g. A. R. Turns Out at the Various Cemeteries In
Force-Ths Events Of the Day
Portrayed.

Although there was no regular pro-
gramme of public exercises yesterday, be-
vond the usual ceremonies by the q. A.
4 Mt the various cemeteries, Decoration
Day was very generally observed In this
city. The day, up to six O'Clock, was
perfect one for outdoor enjoyment, and
all over the city business during the after
noon was generally suspended, everybody
LAYING aside their cares and either going
into the country or deyOting themselves
TO some form of recreation inside the city.
At an early hour the members OF the u.
Ar. were busy gathering up flowers
wherewith to strew the graves OF their
dead comrades, and by 8 o'clock the de-
tails for the various cemeteries were en-
route to the posts assigned them. Holll-
day Post had the care OF the dead at PENN
sula. Mt. Wood, Greenwood, Mt. Calvary
and Stone Church, while E. w. Stephens
Post took charge of Mt. Zion and Red
Mems cemeteries. The details for the
Peninsula and the cemeteries out the pike
went out on the Elm Grove motor line,
while the squad for Mt Wood marched to
that cemetery. The service there were
typical of those at all the other cemeteries,
and review OF it will, therefore, answer
for all.
The detail for Mt. Wood was in charge
of w. ]. RObb, Past Post Commander. w.
II. Chapman acted rs adjutant and G. w.

THE STATE RESTS.
IContinHed from First Page. ]

WIS. Wiley, Prosecuting Attorney, test
flied rs follows: Was at the residence of
Jacob Baxter on the 4th day of October,
1896; got there about one O'Clock; was on
the ground when Newman was brought on
the ground; saw an indentation at the foot
of the apple tree, but do not think tried
the gun in the indentation; my impression
at the time was that the gun was a
little too large; my impression is still
that it was too large; the indenture was
from one-half to three-fourths inches deep.
Cross-examined: Did not make other
indentations in the ground with the gun;
the shape of the indentation was just the
same as the gun but seemed little small.
Meshak YOho testified as follows: Lived
on Proctor for eighteen years, about one
and half miles from Jacob Baxter; was
at Jacob BaXter's the night Baxter was
killed; got there about nine or ten o'clock /;
saw John Newman when Slender brought
him there; saw the gun brought there;
looked around the premises Monday morn
ing; know where the apple tree stands; saw
q small mark at the foot of the apple tree;
looked like il had been made with some
kind of cane; looked pretty close; saw a
mark about three feet from the foot
of the apple tree that looked like it
had been made with a rifle gun;
was down at apple tree once before the gun
came; when / went back with Mr.. Wiley
the indentatiOn | saw before was marked
out, and / saw for the first time another
mark nearer the tree; it WAS under fiat
rock which Mr.. Wiley turned over; tried
the heel of the gun; il was too large and
would not 60 in; did not try it the other
day; the indentatiOn was n strong hall
inch deep and over an inch long; the
ground was hard; am acquainted with
John NJ. Newman; have known him for
fifteen or sixteen years; was acquainted
with his general reputation before October
last; il was ordinarily good.
CroSs-examinatiOn: Had fuss with him
about hog; he said that if he found out
that | logged his hogs he would make 1t
dear hog for me.
A small inaccuracy crept into the REG
IsTER's account of the beginning OF the
troubles between Newman and Baxter.
| The account read THAT it seems that
the general belief of the neighbOrhOOd was
that Jacob Baxter was theincendiary.
meant to say that Newman thought thai
Baxter was the incendiary. Am not III
formed what the belief of the neighbor
hood was.
| Another small mistake crept into The
account of Saturdays proceedings. Mrs.
Baxter did not say that Newman said thai
he wanted shoot some more, hut thai
they had better look out or he would shoot
some more of them. These corrections
are due to all parties concerned.
